Debit card
A debit card is similar to a credit card: it is a plastic card embossed with a name and account number, with a magnetic stripe on the back. It differs from a credit card by taking money for a purchase or cash advance from a checking account instead of charging against a line of credit.

The debit card allows a merchant to immediately withdraw the funds for an authorized transaction from your checking account. You provide authorization by presenting the card and entering a PIN (personal identification number) in the terminal at the store.
